For the month of October, we have dedicated donations to the St. Matthew Loaves and Fishes program (Howard County Food Bank) in memory of Tresja Denysenko, who died unexpectedly while working on a USAID mission in Haiti.  Tresja’s kindness and heartfelt passion for providing humanitarian assistance and improving the lives of people in need touched many communities, around the world, and here at our parish where her husband Deacon Nicholas served at Saint Matthew.

It’s very humbling to report the following results in memory of Tresja:

Total Cash Donations                             $1,093.00

Total Food Donations                              133.1 lbs

A huge THANK YOU to the parish, family & friends for their generous support to this effort.

We would also like to remind everyone that Loaves and Fishes collects donations of non-perishable food and hygiene items throughout the year.
